Since the Romanian gambling regulator started granting full gaming licenses to international operators and providers, Live Casino supplier Evolution Gaming has announced that it is opening the first live studio in the country at Grand Casino Bucharest.

To do this, the leading provider partnered with UK online casino games developer iSoftBet.

The Live Casino studio will be launched later in September and will be located one level below the casino’s actual gaming floor. It will initially offer Evolution Gaming’s core titles, and more content will be added at a later stage. Games will be available on both desktop and hand-held devices.

Under the partnership, iSoftBet will be able to provide its clients with such offering from the Grand Casino Bucharest studio.

iSoftBet CEO Nir Elbaz said that the expansion across regulated iGaming markets forms part of their growth strategy. Being licensed in Romania, therefore being given the opportunity to provide more than 60 titles, is a huge step towards its implementation.

Mr Elbaz said that given the quality of the games offered by Evolution Gaming, the Live Casino supplier was the natural choice for a partner. He also pointed out how the company will now be able to sell multi-product offering to clients operating in the regulated Romanian market and their players.

James Stern, Director of Business Development and Land-Based Sales at Evolution Gaming, said that with Grand Casino Bucharest being a venue that local players know very well, they have chosen the best possible location for their Live Casino studio.

He added that being the first Live Casino providers to roll out their products in newly regulated markets is something they have always strived to achieve. Mr Stern expressed confidence that with Evolution Gaming’s proven track record of successful launches across newly regulated jurisdictions, such as Italy, Spain and Belgium, the upcoming roll-out in Romania will prove to be just as successful.
